Research Abstract |
Macrolipophagy is the autophagy that regulates intracellular lipid metabolism. We found that tetrandrine, a known isoquinoline alkaloid, modulated macrolipophagy in hepatic stellate cells. It was also suggested that tetrandrine induces the autophagic flux through the up-regulation of atg7, a mediator of autophagosomal formation.
